KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — Sweden’s foreign minister says his country will maintain its long-standing support for Afghanistan by keeping about 200 soldiers in the country after most foreign troops turn over combat responsibilities to Afghan forces next year.

Carl Bildt said in Kabul on Wednesday that Sweden’s commitment remains and will be even stronger in the years ahead.
